Day three of working in the cafe.

My feet hurt and my back hates me. But it could be worse!

It's amazing how quickly things came back to me in terms of cooking. Such as various kinds of eggs...I like mine over-easy, but not everybody does, so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to recall the timings for the different eggs. I didn't need to worry about a damn thing...it was like riding a bike.

Friday the cafe was busy, but I managed to do pretty good. The tips were definitely nice - between cash and credit I made more in a single day that the former café supervisor did in an entire month. And when I do the payroll tomorrow morning I know that my credit card tips will be more for two days than the former missus received in the pay period.

Saturday wasn't as busy as Friday was and I had help too, not that I really needed it too much, but it was nice to get a chance to sit for a little bit. And I was able to do some training with the lady who was with me. I was rather dismayed to find out that the former missus treated my assistant like absolute garbage - condescending, demanding, rude, and not being willing to train her at all. My boss had clearly hired a covert racist and the lady I worked with yesterday got the brunt of it. If we'd known before that she was being treated like this it would have ended a LOT sooner. Like holy shit. We don't tolerate racism or shit like that.

Today I ended up being by myself because it was so slow. My assistant from yesterday was scheduled with me today but I knew it was going to be incredibly slow, and she needed some more hotel front desk training. So, seeing as how she was going to get paid one way or the other we decided to have her do that training. It was slow enough today that I did a deep clean on the entire cafe, including bleaching the cutting board. It was badly needed, even though I'm paying the price for it due to my body hating me now.

I'm not back in the cafe until Wednesday, and I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to it or not. I don't usually work on Wednesdays right now due to a class I'm taking, but we're going to make it work. I'm off at 3:30pm and my class is online at 7pm. What I'm contemplating doing is getting a hotel room for that night at one of our other properties and heading there after I'm done at the cafe. Of course I'll be making myself something for dinner for my stay and then having breakfast at the property - it's a B&B so I plan on taking full advantage of that, of course :P I'm off Thursday so I won't even have to rush off to work or anything like that...I can just relax before I get my ass in gear for the rest of my day off.

Of course, now, I just have to get through the next couple of days!

So, I've been verbally given a three month eviction notice due to my landlord wanting to renovate the apartment I've been living in for almost 12 years. And he's made it clear that he will not entertain the idea of me coming back once the renovations are done. Yes, the place needs some work - I've been here for 12 years so wear and tear are only natural. Of course, the day he needed into the apartment was a day where the place was a state. I'd just worked my last day of a string of five days in a row and housework needed to be done. Five days worth of dishes in the sink, garbage that was in the process of being collected to put out on garbage day, and laundry that was in the process of being washed, dried, folded, and put away. Plus stuff on the floor because I'd been going through my collection of doom bags and boxes so I could get rid of more things I don't need or have room for. It clearly wasn't putting the best look out there for my landlord to see,...

So, I didn't get everything out of the basement common area by the end of October. I got a LOT of it out, but there still remains some items that desperately need to go. I just haven't had the spoons to do it yet. Such is life when your health, mental and physical, decide to have other ideas. Obviously, I'm still working away at it all, and making progress too! A week ago, during my last two days off from work, I finally put together the free shelving thingy I got from Temu and started putting things on it. Talk about a huge difference from having things all over the counter! Organization of my kettle, various water bottles and travel mugs, spices, cereal, and other things have been accomplished and I have actual working space on the counter now. Given the space and time (and another shelving thingy at some point) I'll hopefully be able to turn the top of my mini-fridge into a coffee station and get rid of the two milk-crates I'm currently using to hold canned goods...

Ex got his ass fired on Valentine's Day...what a loser

-
The ex no longer has a job - he was termed on Valentine's Day. I can only wonder exactly what goes through a person's head to continue to do the same stupid thing repeatedly. Clearly he's not all that bright if it means that he has yet to learn a lesson out of all of this. But I also think he tends to think he'll always get bailed out whenever he screws up like he apparently always does. When he told me that he always loses his jobs the same way, I thought maybe he felt guilty about it all and wanted to make a change. Obviously not. Whenever I eat in the food court at the mall I work in I keep expecting his mother to approach me to ask what happened. Or to give me shit for not making her son a priority. Frankly, I'd love her to try giving me shit because I'd tell her - mother to mother - that she raised a selfish idiot who refuses to learn from his mistakes or is just too stupid to figure out that how he chooses to go on is no way to live. What is he goi...
